This image taken with the GoPro has water splashes and weird colours, but who cares.
The water was so warm. It was awesome. The air temperature humidex value was just below 40 degrees C. July 6, Mew Lake, Mew Lake campground, Algonquin Provincial Park, Canada.
This is the chain that is located at Fort Point in San Francisco near the edge of water. Probably been photographed for years.
My first ever photo posted to Flickr taken on my phone. Left the office thinking I’d take some shots on my XT4, but turns out I left my SD cards at home. Took my phone out instead and was pleasantly surprised at what this phone can do. Do we even need big cameras anymore?
SK cabbed Mercedes seem to be emigrating to Africa as fast as they can be found so it was great to see another one still in action yesterday - especially an 8 wheeler.

On looking a bit closer, this one is a rare (for the UK) 3234 model. "32" indicating 32 tonnes and "34" indicating the 340bhp 6 cylinder engine.
Most Mercs in the UK seem to be "25" models like this one below:

Dating from 1996 and very enthusiastically owned from new by the current owners, the vehicle is equipped for just about anything with its roll on/off body and rear mounted forklift - With its relative lack of electronics, M50MRB will be kept in service for as long as possible.
Cheers to the owners for taking the time to chat yesterday !
So, I'm driving down Knights of Columbus Blvd at the airport and see this old purple fire truck sitting in the far edge of the parking lot of the BNA business building. It's just sitting there with graffiti all over most of it. What confuses me is why it's just sitting there in the parking lot of this really nice looking office tower. Strange...

168001 at Rickmansworth, en route to Aylesbury back in 2013. These 4 car, 100mph units are most frequently used on the GW-GC mainline to Banbury and Birmingham, so to see one on the local service was, at the time, unusual. The design on these is somewhere between the earlier Networker and the later Turbostar types. Had some very very spirited running running on these, that are now over 20 years old.
Pretty dope, eh?

In the early years of the 20th century, increasing leisure time for ordinary working people meant that relaxing sports, such as golf, were becoming more and more accessible. Playing on the sandy Seaton Carew Golf Course, this man is accompanied by his young caddy.

Using the Olympics as an excuse to “ temporarily” increase shop opening times on a Sunday, then make it permanent.
A large white heron, the Great Egret is found across much of the world, from southern Canada southward to Argentina, and in Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia. It's the largest egret in the Old World, and thus has garnered the name Great White Egret. But in the Americas, the white form of the Great Blue Heron is larger and warrants that name. In the United States, the Great Egret used to be called the American Egret but that was hardly appropriate, since the species range extends beyond America and indeed farther than other herons.
The Great Egret (Ardea alba), also known as the Great White Egret or Common Egret or (now not in use) Great White Heron,[1] and called kōtuku in New Zealand, is a large egret. Distributed across most of the tropical and warmer temperate regions of the world, in southern Europe and Asia it is rather localized. It is sometimes confused with the Great White Heron in Florida, which is a white morph of the closely related Great Blue Heron (A. herodias). Note however that the name Great White Heron has occasionally been used to refer to the Great Egret.
The Great Egret is a large bird with all-white plumage that can reach one meter in height and weigh up to 950 g. It is thus only slightly smaller than the Great Blue or Grey Heron (A. cinerea). Apart from size, the Great Egret can be distinguished from other white egrets by its yellow bill and black legs and feet, though the bill may become darker and the lower legs lighter in the breeding season. In breeding plumage, delicate ornamental feathers are borne on the back. Males and females are identical in appearance; juveniles look like non-breeding adults.
It has a slow flight, with its neck retracted. This is characteristic of herons and bitterns, and distinguishes them from storks, cranes, ibises and spoonbills, which extend their necks in flight.
The Great Egret is not normally a vocal bird; at breeding colonies, however, it often gives a loud croaking cuk cuk cuk
Today we removed two old wooden box cars from the waterfront cement plant that is destined to become a world class destination hotel and convention center. The track the F unit is on only sees service when a car needs to be pulled out of service, and the track the train is on has seen two moves in 30 years. As such vegetation has grown up everywhere! There are tracks under there somewhere!
